I've configured the FR to use dhcp to get an IP address through the wireless interface after it connects to the AP using WPA2. This has been working for quite some time. I did have the occasional event where the FR would get booted but it would just start cycling along doing the dhcp discover and after a few minutes of this I would reboot the FR and the next time up it would come and finish the connection and I would have a good wireless connection to the FR.
I control both ends (I've created the AP using a laptop, USB wireless dongle and the s/w application hostapd). The FR boots and negotiates the wifi access but when it comes to the dhcp negotiation its failing. I can see the AP listing the DHCP DISCOVER message and sending to the FR (I know its the FR since the MAC address is correct) the DHCP OFFER. The FR only prints the DHCP Discover message and never seems to see the DHCP OFFER. I haven't done any changes to the s/w on the FR and this problem usually does go away after a few minutes but its now been a few hours and doesn't seem to be fixing itself. I'm wondering what kind of scenarios can occur where the dhcp client just can't use the dhcp server's offer? Cheers!! -- John Dowd 133 Waverley St. Ottawa Ont.
